Updated from the 2.6.22.13 to the 2.6.22.16 kernel and now it fails to
boot with a "error while parsing number".

Help, any suggestions?

Thanks

did you compile the kernel and did you recompile the nvidia driver
thats if you used the nvidia driver from their web site.

Darklight:

If the OP's situation is the same as mine, this kernel update was done
via online update.

Watching the progress, I was pleased to see that after applying the main
kernel delta, it was downloading and applying x11-video-nvidiaG01 and
nvidia-gfxG01-kmp-default automatically.

OP obviously got an error message - I have a blank screen. (Pls excuse
posting from 'the other side' until I get time to repair openSUSE)

Well the same bet is to boot your install CDs/DVD and try to repair, or
make the system boot the older kernel. If you can't repair the system or
boot the old kernel, then boot the DVD/CDs and run the update system.
Repair install doesn't work off the 10.3 DVDs.
